A free textbook on linear algebra, the mathematical basis for 3D
graphics: http://joshua.smcvt.edu/linearalgebra/

A free textbook on calculus, valuable background to games programming:
http://www.math.wisc.edu/~keisler/calc.html (it was reviewed on
Slashdot, along with other free calculus texts, here:
http://books.slashdot.org/books/04/03/04/028253.shtml).

The book I brought in was Windows System Programming, 3rd Edition (I
have the Second Edition, called 'Win32 Sysetem Programming').  In terms
of game programming, it's most interesting for writing game servers -
whether it's an MMP game or just a client/server multiplayer game.

The last thing I mentioned was HAM, which goes a long way to reducing
the barrier to entry of console development - namely, the GameBoy
Advance.  http://www.ngine.de/index.jsp?pageid=3510

Hope that's interesting to someone :-)
